In this episode of Two Ts In A Pod, hosts Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge welcome Jared Haibon, husband of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island cast member Ashley Loconetti, for a candid conversation about his journey into the Bravo universe. Jared shares his experience as a Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise alum, detailing how he met Ashley during her Bachelorette season and the two-year on-again, off-again relationship that eventually led to marriage. He reflects on the emotional toll of reality TV, the intense pressure of being filmed 24/7, and the challenges of maintaining authenticity while being edited for drama. Jared also discusses his decision to stay in Rhode Island despite opportunities in Los Angeles, his family-run coffee shop Audrey's Coffeehouse and Lounge, and how the show has impacted his family life. He offers advice to aspiring househusbands, emphasizing emotional resilience, staying out of drama, and prioritizing family over public perception. The episode concludes with a heartfelt reflection on love, identity, and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of public scrutiny.
Reality TV demands emotional resilience—being on camera 24/7 creates intense pressure and rapid emotional shifts.
Staying out of drama is key: even if you’re not involved, you can become a target when others run out of ammunition.
Authenticity matters—Jared chose to stay true to himself, avoid alcohol on camera, and focus on his family.
Family is the ultimate priority: Jared’s biggest concern is how his children perceive him, not public opinion.
Success in reality TV isn’t about winning—it’s about surviving with integrity and protecting your personal life.

Despite being offered a free apartment in LA by Nick Viall, Jared chose to stay in Rhode Island. He explains his deep connection to his home state, his love for small-town life, and how the pandemic changed his perspective on location.
“He came over to us and he was like, hey, I just wanted to apologize that we're running late. Just some things happened that couldn't be avoided but I really apologize for being late.”
“If they run out of that, you're their next target. And they'll try to find something, you know, to say about you like your hair's not long enough for some stupid shit.”
“After the first year, I was very hesitant to go back, but... I realized, you know, I'm in love with this girl. And if I want to be with her, I have to suck it up.”
